Joel Mossburg assumed responsibility for a struggling purchasing organization that was not meeting its annual savings targets. The group also had a high turnover rate, losing more than 25% of its staff each year. The Senior Supply Chain and Finance Executive was micromanaged by a Global Vice President, who had been with the company for over 25 years and did not challenge the team with new, creative, or “outside the box” ideas.
Joel Mossburg, Senior Supply Chain and Finance Executive
From the very onset, Joel scheduled meetings with Vice Presidents and Executive Directors from each department in the clean air division to understand their thoughts, hear their ideas, and brainstorm ways to help the purchasing group succeed. “I was able to secure a complete buy-in to play a larger role in the organization, taking a holistic team approach, ensuring each group now had a duty and responsibility to help the purchasing organization succeed. In the end, the purchasing group felt supported by the other groups and created a morale-boosting environment, where team members genuinely enjoyed going to work.”
As a result of Joel’s leadership, over $56 million in attainable savings was generated in less than six months. The purchasing group surpassed the annual operating plan’s savings by an average of 13% for three consecutive years and has become the organization’s leading group with zero turnover in staff.
